Brown's campaign believes in recycling, they are recycling the old donor lists from Massachusetts for this new campaign and the envelopes keep dropping through the door. But Brown voted with the Regime when it counted so piss off.

But WHO the hell do you vote for? Or is P. J. O'Rourke correct? "Don't vote, it only encourages the bastards".

Obama Rejects 'Best Military Advice' in Fighting ISIS

This should be surprising to nobody - after all he's admitted that he's better at everything than anybody in the known universe. Plus the political reality of antagonizing his "base" - or what's left of it.

From the article on Notre Dame's gender studies course for high schoolers:

QUOTE:

The Catholic school’s Gender Studies director, Abby Palko, will lead the course and will “ask [the high schoolers] to explain how they know for sure whether they are male or female.”

I hope they all say, "I looked down my pants".

When I was in HS I probably would have said, "when I look at good-looking girls I get a stiffie."

That was my thought. Male and female are defined by biology. Perhaps she meant whether they are a boy or a girl. In today's post-modern relativism world, one could argue that whether one is a boy or a girl is not controlled by the biological sex differentiation.

I don't understand kids today. If some university jerk had sent such to my high school we'd had a lot of fun.

But back then, they started with the man trapped in a woman's body claptrap. So we, being high school students, pondered the philosophical implications that we could be a woman trapped in a man's body but also a lesbian.

Indeed!

Maybe we could have a Species Studies curricula and we could argue whether a duck was a chicken. After all, who knows what the duck (or is it a chicken?) was thinking about his identity!

"Can Republicans kick the habit?"

No they can't and that is the problem they have with their base. What the establishment Republicans want is to have power so they can hand out money and regulations to benefit their cronies. The only difference between them and Democrats on this is the cronies are different. Republicans have no interest in stopping and even reversng illegal immigration. They don't intend to reverse Obamacare. They certainly aren't interested in decreasing the size of the federal monolith and they don't want to cut taxes. I'm not even sure they will stop the destruction of our military. There has never been a better time to vote for the opposition. Not across the board but certainly selected Republicans like Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Lindsey Graham of SC. Even if it meant that the Republicans failed to take over he senate it would at least have the effect of sending them a wakeup call.

The labor economist was really torturing the numbers to get the $0 cost of college.
